That Explicit Answer

The time has long gone by when the
violent periodical xplosions Of the editor
of the Times Union had power to damage
anyone. When he was elected President
ofthe Florida Press Association he explic-
lilly promised to amend his ways and
show decent respect for those of whom
he had asked support But if the assso-
citation can endure his language il GER
tainly cannot damage Others
The Times Union says the charges
made by the Orlando Reporter and the
Tampa Journal are lies and includes
THE PALATKA NEWS in a list of = journal
istic blackguards." 1t then proceeds to
threaten John G. Sinclair that it may be
tempted to explain why he is in Flori-
da" and asks for proofs of charges made
by Mahlon Gore.
We have no desire To reply 10 such
language save by saying that it can do
us no more hurt than other epithets
hurled at us in common with gentlemen
in whose company we are glad to be.
| IN this connection We have done no more
than expose the anonymously OF the
| Times Union, which has circulated a
charge against Governor Perry expressly
denied by all the attorneys of Gaines
vile. A long list of the best citizens OF
Palatka, Sanford and Seville lately ex-
posed one of c. III. Jones falsehoods-
this work has now been supplemented
by the attorneys of Gainesville, and o
course the fellow can henceforth sa,

Our Convict Labor.

Twelve months ago Northern papers
contained frightful pictures of the con-
dition of prisoners under the Southern
convict system-work in the open air
was depicted as frightful torture-the
hnts and stockades were given full page

led to believe that all the hardships fol-
lowing upon such exposure in a harsher
climate We're inevitable here.
We all remember how the Centurg
magazine inveighed against the system
We remember, too, how some Southern
papers caught up the howl and joined
in it without rhyme or reason. Listen
now to the New York Herald. as il re-
peats our arguments in favor of the

Work in the open air is acknowledge
to be more beneficial to physical, mental
and moral restoration than anything
which the cleverness of man can suggest
or his ingenuity devise. A premium
should be put upon orderly behavior and
exemplary conduct. In the case of the
young tough the communication OF
sentence in prison is a premium on
behavior. the only reward he has
ever known for good conduct his
life long. 1t is most effective. In Alasks
in addition to the communication of sen

half of his committed time, his deport
ment being exemplary he might b
allowed q ticket of leave to settle il
Alaska. In case of bad behavior h,
would lose this privilege. The ticket
of-leave man might settle on govern
ment land, according to the exemption
laws Of the United States.
In the new land all work would b.
done by convicts. While under guart
